Graduate salary?
-
alot of employers have wrong concept dat sim cert is advance diploma.Originally posted by BufPuf:graduate with no experience = high-end of diploma pay
my this job..i got a pay that is slightly higher than my poly classmates who work abt 2 yr...
i wouldn't say it very high though..
coz some coursemate that i saw in another forum..got more than 2k..but they had some experience...
got degree doesn't necessary mean that u will earn more lah
have to depends on the job u finding, the economy, etc etc.. -
what if u're a 1st class honor degree in mechanical engineering but then without experience freshly graduated.
-
my comp(IT comp, can't say MMC, but quite big, >2k employees in SG) pays only a difference of not more than 300 for local grad and overseas grad..(actually the diff is only 100).Originally posted by freakass:If I'm not wrong, yours is just a normal degree.... that means you don't have Honours... And worse still if you don't even have a Merit... And also, I believe yours is not a professional degree (eg. not engineering degree, and obviously not a medicine or law degree).... And maybe your degree is from some unrecognized university...
Cos your pay is far too low for a univeristy grads these days...
How many of my assumptions are correct?
a fresh IT grad sld get around 2k-2.8k on avg. You can get higher than that, however, that is the minority, which i excluded from here.
i wld not say a degree is useless, i have frds who had been working for 2yrs and pay is 1.9k, and that is one of the highest dip pay that i heard given that exp.
Of cuz, individual perf will cause variation in your pay oso, if you are poor, u can be a deg student, but your pay will "heng ta ta ki" oso.
just tat deg offers you a much more attractive start-up pay. -
i met with some people who dont know where SIM is and even, never heard about it..Originally posted by 798:alot of employers have wrong concept dat sim cert is advance diploma.
so, must explain to them during interview..
that's why i believe that doing a private degree, your results must be at least second honours and above. If not, it is just a pass degree or even equivalent to a diploma. -
Most companies will still accept fresh grad with no experience. If not, these fresh grads can starve to death already.Originally posted by biangz:what if u're a 1st class honor degree in mechanical engineering but then without experience freshly graduated. -

Usually 1st class honour grads will carry on with their masters and do phds. Without experience, you're still a zero.Originally posted by biangz:what if u're a 1st class honor degree in mechanical engineering but then without experience freshly graduated. -
You get bragging rights. But that's about it. Your employer will expect more from you, and if you don't perform, your employer can use it to suan you.Originally posted by biangz:diaoz then what's the use of having a specialised degree and making ur life hard and stressful when u'll still endup compromising with low pay and doing sh!t works same as general degree graduates -.- -
What if you have experience that is not totally relevant? I am in a fix now. I have almost 5.5 years of experience as an engineering assistant (with diploma) doing typical hands-on stuff like maintenance, trouble-shooting, equipment setup etc etc.Originally posted by ditzy:Without experience, you're still a zero.
Now that I have completed my degree I would like to take up a software-oriented job. Will my previous experience be of any worth, will it be considered at all? Anyone has faced this kind of scenario before? -
Wouldn't that be like being an accountant for 5 years then suddenly switch profession to civil engineer?Originally posted by fox_hound_33:What if you have experience that is not totally relevant?

Heard than some MBAs in USA also 6 digit salaries, is this Singapore's experience? -
